    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension

rules in 47 CFR part 15, Sec.  15.525 requires operators of the Ultra 
Wideband (UWB) imaging systems to coordinate with other Federal 
agencies via the FCC and to obtain approval before the UWB equipment 
may be used. Initial operation in a particular area may not commence 
until the information has been sent to the Commission and no prior 
approval is required. The information will be used to coordinate the 
operation of the Ultra Wideband transmission systems in order to avoid 
interference with sensitive U.S. government radio systems. The UWB 
operators will be required to provide name, address and other pertinent 
contact information of the user, the desired geographical area of 
operation, and the FCC ID number, and other nomenclature of the UWB 
device. This information will be collected by the Commission and 
forwarded to the National Telecommunications and Information 
Administration (NTIA) under the U.S. Department of Commerce. This 
information collection is essential to controlling potential 
interference to Federal radio communications. Since initial operation 
in a particular area does not require approval from the FCC to operate 
the equipment.
